Tier 1 Application Refused because of Advertising Material

can any body please please suggest some thing
thankyou

can some one please please reply?
thanks in advance

You are not going to succeed on any appeal if you have not actually undertaken all the steps required to advertise your business.
Essentially you have flyers and business cards and nothing else. It is not going to convince a judge that you are serious about the business. You did the easy and cheap options but those that involve more funding and were harder to complete.
Sorry it does not look that great for you.

As at 11 July what exactly did you have in place will be the question that will be put to you in court.
If you have essentially only the invoices for the flyers and business cards and little else the appeal will fail.
It is all about evidence as at 11 July in regards the decision to refuse. It is about the balance of probability that you on 11 July did not have a viable trading enterprise. Given what you have posted about step by step and what happened after the caseworkers judgement is accurate.
Your business might have taken off now but at 11 July if it did not premises, contracts etc it is no more than a couple of supplier invoces.
Have you invested your £50k? If so how much and on what?
That might and I stress might convince the court.

i think you have seen my reply your response is highly appreciated,
thankyou

Given what you have posted IMHO you are unlikely to succeed in your appeal.The HO will argue you did not meet the minimum criteria as at 11 July.
If you think you are going to have a narrow appeal based on the single advertising point I think you will find that will not be the case. Aithough the refusal might be on that point they can and will examine in detail the other aspects of your business in detail. They will put the point that on 11 July your business was not fully formed or viable at that time. Because of the fixed dead line you will have to argue otherwise. One point they will focus on even if you get past that point is how you have invested the £50k so far and what have you turned over in sales etc. profit will get a mention too.
The outcome will hinge on credibility issues and reading between the lines of your posts I am less than convinced you will meet that requirement.
Unless you have other options you will have to appeal to remain in the UK.
I hope the outcome is more positive than the one I predict.
Good luck.
